From one make up addict to another.

Main menu

Welcome! I am not a professional MUA, but I am a certified eye shadow addict. I’m on a soft ‘no-buy’ meaning I’m not seeking out new eye shadow, but if something simply lovely comes along… In the meantime, I’m playing in my makeup, documenting and sharing it with you. I consider my looks colorful and very wearable.

Are You My Mummy?

My favorite eye shadow company has come out with more shadows…Fyrinnae. The newest shades are Halloween inspired, but are not limited edition. I didn’t get all of them, but I will post the shades I purchased on to The Swatch Bin soon. This look features one of them.

Fyrinnae describes this Arcane shade as a vibrant, gleaming emerald green. When brought closer to light or at an angle this shade takes on an aqua, then a striking deep pink color. In person, the color was the bright green, but in my pictures, it looks bluer.

Get This Look:

I applied Urban Decay’s Primer Potion with my finger and used a Sigma 239 brush to put on Soft Ochre. I blended Wedge into my crease using a Mac 217. I then took a tiny amount of Pixy Epoxy and smoothed it onto my lid up to my crease. I applied Are You My Mummy? on to my lid using a Mac 239 brush. I pushed the color onto the bristles from the container’s lid.

Using the other side of the same brush, I took Steampunk and patted it on to the outer third of my lid. Fyrinnae has revamped Steampunk and is now an Arcane that is a gold on a black base with a pink hue that changes to an olive green. I put a cream colored shade in the inner corner with a small shader brush.

I used a Mac 263 brush and a matte black gel liner on my upper lash line and also tightlined using this brush. Using a Louise Young eyeliner brush, I put a peacocky blue fluidline onto my lower lashline. I darkened the outer edge of the fluidline with Steampunk and brightened the inner edge with Nijiro.
